I want to use vtune to monitor my app. But how to display the thread name in vtune instead of displaying thread1, thread2 and so on.

There is no similar function (we talked on http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=77927&o=d&s=lr) in VTune Analyzer, sorry!

Actually, it depends on what type of data you are collecting. If you are collecting Call Graph data, you can use the VTNameThread() API to name your threads. See the VTuneApi.h file in \Analyzer\include.

You need to add the calls to your code and link with the library that will dynamically load the DLL at runtime.
